I have been on hiatus since the pandemic but plan on getting back to the tables soon. And my last experience was the same. If it makes you feel any better I have been 1-outered near the bubble so many times I've lost count and I almost exclusively make all my money on sets or 2 pair. Straights and flushes? What are those?
The last time I played cash was funny. Most people think of me as a nit even though I'm really not, I just don't pick up the right hands in the right situation. In this instance I played literally almost every hand. Why? Because the table was so tight they let me. I played it all at almost no cost; pocket pairs, suited and non-suited connectors and semi, even rags. In a 1-2 game. Scored an early pot with Kings in the hole and that was it. Basically blinded out. Never hit a hand and I had hours to play cheaply and do so. That's not how cash is supposed to work! I chased everything basically for free and it just never happened. The one time I flopped a straight my opponent just called me all the way down to make a backdoor flush despite having barely played a hand since I sat down. What can you do?
Just a serious response to show some sympathy and hopefully make you feel better. I have to win by either hitting a set or just make a big call at the right time because I'm the type of person who usually just doesn't hit outs. Hopefully you at least run a little better than that.
